That mileage surprises me too. My last MD had Primacy 3's on it. I loved them. Unfortunately she was written off with 20,000 on the clock. I must admit they still looked pretty new when I had the accident.
My current MD has Contisportcontact 5's. Nowhere near as good as the Michelin's IMO. I always run 38Psi as I can have a boot full of credits at the end of the week. Rotated these at 15,000 with alignment, currently at 25,000 and I reckon by 35,000 they'll need replacing.

Am replacing the OE Continental ContiSportContact®5's (hopefully) next weekend. I would rate them as good, but not great. Will clock up 36,000k's this week. The tyres have noticeably lost performance and grip the last couple of thousand.
They will be replaced with the brand new Goodyear Eagle F1 Sport.
